Today, we continued working on our line of inquiry experiences that shape perspectives. Students were asked to create a plan for a building/business that is located on a river. They had complete control over of the type of building. After students finished drawing their plans, I asked them to list the types of pollution or environmental impact that can be caused by their business. Many students struggled with this part because many of them tried to create 'green' businesses. Tomorrow we will continue working on this project and students will see how their actions impact others locally and globally.
Our work on our second line of inquiry, conflicts that cause change, continued today as well. During this inquiry students are analyzing the different perspectives of the North and the South prior to the American Civil War. Students are beginning to see what types of conflicts existed between the two regions and how these conflicts could lead to change.
